Hello,

I have installed windows sp2 in my system. Later I deleted a partition and installed Linux(Fedora 8 i386). Then when I tried to format windows and install a fresh again then my system does not boot from XP 2 CD. Then i tried to install through existing windows OS to install XP, but it showed an error and the existing windows get corrupted.So please suggest how to delete linux partition and install windows XP2.

Configuration: Windows XP2

Hi
So what is ur current status on the HD. How many partions and OSes are there now?
Is it a laptop? do you have a floppy drive?
and...

Then i tried to install through existing windows OS to install XP,
Which existing windows? Was it a triple boot then?

but it showed an error
What error?

and the existing windows get corrupted
Is it still accessable?

If you want to create multiboot systems you need to be carefull in which order you install them.
Maybe I'm wrong but the same thing goes for uninstall.

Of course there is a solution for everything but the 'hassle free way' is for example to install win98 before xp
or xp/win98 before Linux.
Doesn't fedora uses grub? If so didn't it asked you where to put it during install? So where did you?
If you have floppy drive use a win 98 bootdiskette and then fdisk
If you cd drive only. does a/any live cd from linux start?

If you have linux installed,go to bios,in the main option chage the ACIH to IDE...then change the priority to cd/DVD drive...then put the bootable disc and press f12 continuously,then it will come"press any key to boot from CD"..

then install it as usual...thats how it worked to me..
